Whether or not it fits is kind of a crap shoot. It depends on where your braze-ons are. I'd be happy to take measurements to help you figure out if it will fit your bike.

That Nitto M18 is the rack to get, short of a custom. Adjustable so the deck is horizontal, works well within a fairly big range of head tube angle and braze on location.
